Back Into The Swing

How does one get back into the swing of things after a couple of weeks spent at the beach lazing around like a lizard in the sun? The ease of Island time is replaced with peak hour traffic and let's be honest, it's like a big slap in the face with the opening of the inbox!!For me it is all about sssslllloooowwlly easing back into it. However, it makes it even harder when you know that most people are still away enjoying themselves.

One of the lovliest things the summer holiday has given me is a fresh, clear mind. I feel motivated and excited. Thank goodness!!

And in the spirit of my new-found inspiration I have been playing around in the shop this week with a few fresh table vignettes incorporating some flowers and foliage from home. That's what I call slowly easing my way back into it in a lovely creative way. Next week will be a different story, I am sure!

I established this blog in 2006 so that I could record my inspirations, my thoughts and my work as an Interior Designer. Based in Brisbane, Australia, my store Black & Spiro is always filled with a unique collection of interesting things which we scour the globe to find. I am most passionate about my family, my career, tradition, collecting, flowers, fabric, gardening, colour and quality and I will always strive to be creative and extraordinary in everything I do. I hope I can inspire you to live a bright and colourful life surrounded by the things you love.
